Where's November?

November 14, 2008

Forgive me, but isn't it still November? I know it was just Halloween, so it should be November. At least according to my calendar. But, one look at any of the local stores sure makes me think it's Christmas already. There's even Christmas tree lights up in my neighborhood and I'm pretty sure I saw some Christmas trees through the windows as I drove past. My mailbox also appears to think it's Christmas already. I have about 20 Christmas catalogs from various companies piled up in my den that have arrived in the past week. My kids clearly think it's Christmas time because their lists are all over the house and they fight over every toy catalog that comes in the mail. I don't know about you, but I kind of like Thanksgiving and would like to savor the season a bit more. I'll join you in singing, "fa, la, la" on December 1st.
